<u>Answer:</u>

First car:  35 gallons

Second car: 15 gallons

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Assuming x to be the gas consumed by 1st car and 50 - x to be the gas consumed by 2nd car.

We know that:

Distance traveled = fuel efficiency × gas consumed

20x+35(50-x)=1225

20x+1750-35x=1225

35x-20x=1750-1225

15x=525

x=35

So 50 - x = 50-35=15

Therefore, first car consumed 35 gallons while second car consumed 15 gallons.

Answer:

First car: 35 gallons

Second car: 15 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up a system of equations.Let be "x" the number of gallons consumed by the first car and "y" the number of gallons consumed by the second car.

Then:

\left \{ {{x+y=50} \atop {20x+35y=1,225}} \right.

Applying the Elimination method, multiply the first equation by -20, then  add both equations and solve for "y":

\left \{ {{-20x-20y=1,000} \atop {20x+35y=1,225}} \right. \\.......................\\15y=225\\y=15

Substitute this value into the first equation and solve for "x":

x+15=50\\x=35

Find the value of y in the given triangle
Andre45 [30]

Given:

In the given triangle,

With respect to y, Perpendicular = 10 cm and Base = 8 cm

To find the value of y.

Formula

By Trigonometric Ratio we get,

tan\theta = \frac{Perpendicular}{Base}

Now,

Putting the values of perpendicular and base we get,

tan\theta = \frac{10}{8}

or, \theta = tan^{-1} (\frac{10}{8})

or, \theta = 51.34 ^\circ

Rounding off to the nearest tenth, we have;

\theta = 51.3 ^\circ

Hence,

The value of y is 51.3°.

In a survey, 200 people were asked if they smoke and whether or not they exercise regularly (more than twice a week). The result
siniylev [52]

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

a. % of people who smoke = no. of people who smoke ÷ total no. of people surveyed × 100

Total no. of people who smoke is given = 4 + 36 = 40

Total people surveyed = 200

% of people who smoke = \frac{40}{200}*100 = \frac{40}{2}*1 = 20 percent

a. % of people who do not exercise regularly = no. of people who do not exercise regularly ÷ total no. of people surveyed × 100

Total no. of people who do not exercise regularly = 36 + 134 = 170

Total people surveyed = 200

% of people who smoke = \frac{170}{200}*100 = \frac{170}{2}*1 = 85percent
